Transition To A Multipolar World Order: The Elephant In The Room - Hammersmith

2019 promises to be a very eventful year: Brexit, Trump, the rise of populism in Europe, the come back of Russia and China as major players on the world stage, along with trade wars, proxy wars, assorted sanctions and attempted coups....how does it all link together?

We will start with an elephant-shaped chart by economists Branco Milanovic and Christoph Lakner, showing the winners and losers of globalisation. On the basis of this very useful chart Costanza, our co-organiser, will explain how the economic outcomes of globalisation are now shaping the turbulent politics and geopolitics that we can see in the news every day. She will then outline the strategic options available to the various players, and finally make some educated guesses.

After this, we will open the discussion and speculations on what we might expect in the near future. This is an activity that our followers will no doubt enjoy and if you are a newcomer please feel free to come along, we are a friendly group and welcome all opinions!

There is an optional £4 donation to cover the venue cost.
